An Arizona-based food, beverage and travel writer since 2008, I launched this website in 2015 to document my culinary adventures, beverage escapades, gardening endeavors, and travel in the Phoenix area and beyond. Also find a comprehensive calendar of Phoenix-area food and drink-related events on my Events page.
Recipes from Sam’s Family Kitchen with proceeds benefiting The Joy Bus. An intimate gathering of Joy Bus supporters and fans of Sam Pillsbury's amazing wines will gather on November 18th and feast on Grilled Halloumi and Watermelon, Vegan Tomato Quinoa Melange, Seafood Paella and Bitter Orange and Olive Salad all paired with Naturally Grown Red, White and Rose Wines from Sam Pillsbury’s Arizona Vineyard. We will close out the evening with local small batch hand crafted chocolates made with Sam's Diva wine by the one and only Zak's Chocolates:)
